We're not at all pleased by Epson's refusal to reveal the native resolution of its MovieMate 55, but judging by the $699 estimated street price, we'd bet it's no better than 1,024 x 768. At any rate, the 8.4-pound unit is designed more for sleepovers and summer camps than home cinema applications, as it boasts a built-in DVD player rather than a Blu-ray unit (and the resolution to match). You'll also find a pair of 8-watt speakers, 1,200 ANSI lumens, E-TORL lamp and a built-in handle for good measure. Snag one for the youngin' this October at resellers all across the land.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/epson-america-adds-moviemate-55/story.aspx?guid=%7BE8203D94-01F9-40E5-89E6-0E336B755960%7D&dist=hppr>Read</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1296238/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/27/epson-releases-moviemate-55-projector-with-built-in-dvd-player/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
